Given the equation
\n" ); document.write( "-2y + x = 2y - 8
\n" ); document.write( "we can find the intercepts, by letting the other variable go to zero.
\n" ); document.write( "For example, if we want the x-intercept, let y become zero, and we get
\n" ); document.write( "0 + x = 0 - 8
\n" ); document.write( "x = -8
\n" ); document.write( "If we want the y-intercept, we let x be zero, and get
\n" ); document.write( "-2y + 0 = 2y - 8
\n" ); document.write( "-4y = -8
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
